Integration Thread

To implement the most basic system possible, it is necessary to have a database and a way to input and retrieve the information in it. Everything else in the thread drives toward this goal. The Data Controller provides an interface that the rest of the system can use when interacting with the database. This controller, and the controllers in each of the other two systems, will not change from the perspective of the other two modules once completed. New commands may be added, but the formats of existing functions will not be altered. This will ensure a single, unified connection among the three modules that will remain constant against any changes made to the remainder of the components.

For purposes of a demonstration, a virtual Zigbee Network and a single User Interface may be created and attached to the Sensor Controller and Interface Controller, respectively. The Level 2 Integration Thread Diagram is labeled inside the full Level 2 Diagram, found in the Design section of this documentation.
